55 Abapristi abakhulu nomphakathi wonke bafuna ubufakazi ngoJesu ukuba bambulale, kepha ababufumananga.
56 Ngokuba abaningi bafakaza amanga ngaye, kepha ubufakazi babo abuhlangananga.
57 Kwasukuma abathile, bafakaza amanga ngaye, bathi:
58 “Thina simzwile ethi: ‘Ngiyakulidiliza leli thempeli elenziwe ngezandla, ngakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu elinye elingenziwe ngezandla.’ ”
59 Nakuba kunjalo ubufakazi babo abuhlangananga.
60 Kwase kusukuma umpristi omkhulu phakathi kwabo, wambuza uJesu, wathi: “Awuphenduli lutho na? Kuyini abakufakaza ngawe laba na?”
61 Kepha wathula, akaphendula lutho. Umpristi omkhulu wabuye wambuza, wathi kuye: “UnguKristu, iNdodana yoBongekayo na?”
